Oh yes. Trust us to give this a try

One egg. One tomato. The whole season handled.

This sounds like an old garden myth until you understand what's actually happening underground.

When you bury a raw egg beneath your tomato plant, it breaks down slowly over the season and releases exactly what tomatoes are hungriest for — calcium, nitrogen, phosphorus, and a handful of trace minerals like sulfur and magnesium.

The calcium alone is worth the trick. Blossom end rot — that ugly black patch on the bottom of your tomatoes — is a calcium problem. Most gardeners don't realize it until the fruit is already ruined. An egg at the root zone delivers calcium before the plant ever has a chance to run short.

And because the egg decomposes gradually, the nutrients release over weeks and months instead of all at once. No leaf burn. No overfeeding. Just a slow, steady supply exactly where the roots can reach it.

🥚 How to do it:

- Dig your planting hole a few inches deeper than usual — about 12 inches total
- Drop one raw egg at the bottom, shell and all
- Cover with 3 to 4 inches of soil
- Plant your seedling on top as normal
- That's it — the egg does the rest all season

🌱 Best plants for the egg trick:

- Tomatoes — heavy calcium feeders, this is where you'll see the biggest difference
- Peppers — same nutrient needs, same benefit
- Squash — big feeders that love the nitrogen boost
- Roses — calcium strengthens cell walls and improves blooms

One egg per plant. The grocery store just became your garden center for pennies a plant.

An eggcellent deal by any measure. 🍅

The Garden humbles us, forces us to take notice of our surroundings. Which made us notice the excess Tyre pollution on the rise. While being kind to the garden and ourselves, instead of another negative impact we saw an opportunity with the tyre's.

Can you guys what we will do with the tyres? Do you have suggestions on what we can do with the tyres? We are all ears with our pen and paper ready.

Some days it feels like we are against the wall, hard to push through and going back being the only option. This is where like-minded community is important. To validate the challenges, guide and advice on the way forward. It's comforting while it's refuel the passion.
